HS Code for Wooden bed frame
Wooden bed frames are classified under HS code 9403.50. This classification falls within Chapter 94, which covers furniture, bedding, and mattresses. Specifically, heading 9403 applies to "Other furniture and parts thereof," and subheading 9403.50 is designated for "Wooden furniture of a kind used in the bedroom." The classification is determined by two primary factors: the material (wood) and the intended environment of use (the bedroom). A bed frame is considered furniture because it is designed for placing on the floor and is used to equip a private dwelling. It is important to note that this code covers the structural frame itself, including the headboard, footboard, and side rails. However, it does not include the mattress or the mattress support (such as a box spring), which are classified under heading 9404. If a bed frame is imported with a mattress as a single unit, the components may need to be classified separately or as a set depending on the General Rules of Interpretation and specific national customs rulings.

Common Misclassification
The most common misclassification is with HS code 9404.10, which covers mattress supports (like wooden lath springs or box springs). While a bed frame supports a mattress, the frame itself is 9403.50, while the internal support structure may be 9404.10. Another error involves HS code 9403.20, which is for metal furniture; if a bed is a hybrid of wood and metal, the "essential character" rule (GRI 3b) must be applied. Finally, 9403.60 (other wooden furniture) is often used incorrectly if the bedroom utility is not clearly specified.
